Iron Oxide Pigment Selection Guide
Iron Oxide Pigments are the most widely used inorganic pigments in the world due to their non-toxic nature, chemical stability, and wide color range. At RawChemicalMart, we offer synthetic iron oxides that provide superior tinting strength and distinctiveness compared to natural grades.
Common Grades & Color Spectrum
Our pigments are categorized by color and chemical structure, suitable for coloring cement, pavers, paints, and plastics.
1. Iron Oxide Red ($\alpha$-Fe₂O₃)
The most versatile series. It ranges from yellowish-red to violet-red.
- Grade 130: The industry standard medium red, widely used in colored asphalt and concrete bricks.
- Grade 190: A deep red/maroon shade, often used in high-end ceramic glazes and floor paints.
2. Iron Oxide Yellow ($\alpha$-FeOOH)
Features a needle-like crystal structure. Note that yellow iron oxides are generally stable up to 177°C; for higher temperature plastics, specialized heat-stable grades are required.
- Grade 313: Standard lemon yellow, excellent for architectural paints and coating emulsions.
3. Iron Oxide Black (Fe₃O₄)
A magnetic pigment with high tinting strength.
- Grade 330: Standard black, commonly used in terrazzo, cement tiles, and as a colorant for inks.
Key Industrial Applications
| Industry | Primary Use | Key Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Construction | Pavers, Stucco, Concrete Blocks | Alkali resistant (cement stable) and UV weather resistant. |
| Coatings & Paints | Exterior Paints, Primers | High hiding power and excellent dispersion. |
| Plastics & Rubber | Masterbatch, Flooring | Thermal stability and migration resistance. |
Why Choose RCM Pigments?
Color consistency is the biggest challenge in pigment supply. We solve this by ensuring:
- Batch-to-Batch Consistency: We control the $\Delta E$ (color difference) value strictly to ensure your end products look the same every time.
- High Dispersibility: Our micronized grades mix easily into concrete and liquid systems, reducing mixing time and streaking.
- Expert Shipping: Packed in 25kg multi-ply paper bags or 1000kg bulk bags, secured for international transit.
